MATTERS AROuT TOWN

The work on the interior of the court house
is being rushed. 1t is hoped the building will
be SO far advanced by October l that the Aud
itor, Clerk, Recorder, and Commissioners can
move into their rooms, and enable the building
now occupied by them to be torn down. The
old court house will not be disturbed until next
summer.
THE foundation walls of the engine house are
about completed, aad work has been begun
upsn the stack. 1t will be ninety feet high.
ENGINEER Dawson was engaged Monday lay
ing out the tunnel for the steam pipes and foul
air ducts from the court house TO the engine
enough when completed for a man to walk
through it.
Mr.. MALONE, the jsnitor at the county build
ings, complains that he was unfairly treated by
the Gazette last week. He says he takes the
greatest care in removing night soil, that inva-
riably it is done at very late hour, and that
he takes every precaution possible to avoid Of
fense.
UNUSUAL electrical disturbances have pre-
vailed in this vicinity for several DAYS. Sunday
evening, about 5 o'clock, what was evidently
tornado passed over town to the east, so high
up that no damage resulted. 1t was small in
area, and in its wake left a peculiar yellow
tinge, and cast shadows to the west from trees.
Further east we hear of some destruction of
timber. Here high wind prevailed for a mo-
ment only, followed by rain and hail. About
AZ o'clock Monday morning the western skies
presented a frightful appearance. The clouds
hung low down, and almost to the zenith were
of an inky blackness. Hanging from them to
the horizon was a drapery of angry gray and
cOppery fringe. Very many people were out
and looked upon the sublime spectacle with
mingled feelings of awe and admiration. Mon
dangerous display, but neither did any harm,
and both were soon scattered. Commencing
about II O'Clock, very heavy rains fell through
out the night. Sharp lightning and deep thun-
der prevailed in the early morning. A Chin
ney of Postmaster Ryan's dwelling was struck,
bringing the family up standing, but doing NO
material damage.
ANsEL BELT, engaged in working out fine
of $50, assessed for furnishing liquor to An
thony Singer, person in the habit of getting

A CARD.


EDITOR OF BELMONT CHRONICLE:
Allow us space to correct statement
in your issue of the 18th. You say ''it
y ill be recollscted that this same Board
last year permitted the resignation Of
Mr.. R. M. Collins teacher who excelled
especially in the languages, because
they refused to advance his salary SIS
per month. Some people are anxious TO
know what has operated on the minds
of the Board"
The facts in the case are as follows:
After the school work of last year had
been in progress about a month Mr..
Collins asked an advance in his salary Of
So per month. He was informed that
the only time when this could be done
was when he was employed. About the
first of January he insisted that it
should be done, and he was shown the
4017th section of the school law which
says salaries or pay shall not be either
increased or diminished during the term for
which the appointment is made. He
appeared to be satisfied that the Board
had no power to increase his salary dur
ing the year. Then he asked leave to
resign as it would be a favor to him if
we would release bin from his engage
ment and better prospects were open to
him. We did so and put ourselves to
the trouble of making the necessary
changes in the middle of the school year.
There has been no advance in the salary
of Miss Davies, who fills Mr.. Collins
place. 1t remains at $50 as heretofore.

In an interview with Mr.. Collins, re
garding the statements of the above
card. he says that the intimation that he
made no application for an advance of
his salary, until "after the school work
of last year had been in progress about
q month" Is untrue-that on the con
trary. he spoke to every member of the
Board concerning the matter. = num-
ber of times. long before school opened.
and that one of the members, Rev. AL
exander assured him that there would
probably be no difficulty 10 the way Of
the increase. and that meeting of the
Board would be had to consider the mat
ter. Other members of the Board told
him that his application would be con
sidered. Mr., Collins was not advised of
the provisions of the statute above re-
ferred to-and meeting OF the Board
to consider the application, was avoided
until after he entered upon the years
work with the tacit understanding. at.
least. that his application for an increase
would be granted. and it was then that
the Board got behind section 4Ol1 of the
statutes.

stated: A freight train one mile in
length stopped at a station, with

The conductor got orders to move
his train to the next station, which
was just five miles distant. He gave
the engineer the signal to move. which
be did. while the conductor walked over
the train to the engine and got there
just as the locomotive reached the STA
tion, where he got off. The question is,
how far did be walk, or how far did he
ride, or did he ride at all?
